Fever coach Stephanie White dismisses WNBA injury reporting warning: ‘For what?’
USA TODAY Network via Reuters Connect If you think the Indiana Fever did anything untoward or wrong in the way they handled the Caitlin Clark injury announcement on Wednesday, head coach Stephanie White doesn’t know what you’re talking about. On Thursday, the WNBA warned Indiana for violating the league’s injury report protocol after Clark was not included in the Tuesday report before being scratched shortly before Wednesday’s game against the Portland Fire. White was asked what her reaction was to the warning on Friday during her pregame press conference before the Fever played the Golden State Valkyries.
“My reaction is: ‘For what? ’” White said. She was asked to elaborate and added, “Because we did things the right way.
